I received a copy of a project on CD with over 500 drawings along with the Xref files for use in construction, however, when I open the drawings on my computer I only see a partial of the drawing. I can manually edit each drawing Xref path, so that it finds the Xref drawing on the CD in oder to get the full draiwng, but this is very time consuming. 1. Is there a way to make a global change on the copy I have to correct this? or 2. Can the person making the copy put all the files in one directory with the Xrefs linked to the same directory or something?
 
I use eTransmit. It keeps all xref;s together.
I don't know of an easier way to fix them. I do it manually.

I am using Autocad LT 2002. Where would the reference manager be?
